Where Do I Find An Oil And Gas Recruitment Agency?

December 23, 2020 via CanadianOil

Many oil and gas companies rely on agencies to provide them the eligible staff for their vacancies. Entrepreneurs and owners know that they can get many benefits when they get in touch with third-party hiring managers rather than establishing their in-house recruitment departments.

For some who need contractors every year or for one-time projects, it’s never practical to get a staff that can’t provide any help if all the vacancies have been filled. Also, many entrepreneurs in the oil and gas fields know that they can choose from several networks and a massive pool of talents that are readily available … Continue Reading

The stock market is full of opportunities for those who know how to find it. Of late, the Canadian oil and energy stocks offer scope for making lucrative gains. These stocks have been characterised by a pattern of abnormally large sell-off followed by recovery, in the last few years.

In January and February this year (2017), many oil stocks endured an abnormally large sell-off to the range of over 20 percent in a month, bringing down the associated indexes with it. The biggest losers include Crescent Point Energy Corp, which shed about 24 percent of its value, and Baytex … Continue Reading

The trading relationship with Canada and the UAE has been a complex one over the years but recently there have been significant signs that their trading ties will continue to flourish in 2015 and beyond.

In an interview with oil and gas magazine Pipeline they spoke with Canada’s ambassador to the UAE, Arif Z. Lalani about the current trade relationship between the two countries. With Lalani documenting that the partnership between the … Continue Reading

Oil and Gas Covered Call ETF List

covered call etf

Are you thinking of adding exposure to the energy sector through a covered call oil and gas ETF? Covered call writing is an investment strategy that has been around for a long time. It is designed to generate income from a stock by selling a call option against it. You are essentially selling the right to buy the stock at a set price in the future.

For example, if you own 1,000 shares of XYZ Company bought at $10 per share, you can write (sell) a call option contract on those 1,000 shares you own at $12 a share … Continue Reading

Investing in Drilling Companies

When you’re thinking of investing in oilfield services stocks the first segment that comes to mind is that of drilling companies. Buying stocks of fracking companies and drilling companies pretty much offer a lower risk exposure to the energy sector compared to oil and gas producers. Drilling companies operate a fleet of drilling rigs used to punch holes into conventional reservoirs or tight formations that allow the extraction of oil or natural gas.

Many of Canada’s major drilling companies have a history of growth, both internally and through strategic acquisitions. Every year more than 11,000 wells are drilled and completed … Continue Reading

Investing in Fracking Companies

trican fracking

The onset of horizontal drilling and multi-stage fracing has been a major driver of unconventional resource development. Fracking is a technique used to release oil and gas from reservoir rock formations by sending water and sand down a well at ultra-high pressure. The pressurized fluid fractures the formation rock creating pathways for trapped oil and gas to get to the well.

The fracking companies have become a large if not the largest part of the oilfield services sector. The shale revolution which started a few years ago has seen the horizontal rig count climb to record levels; more than … Continue Reading

senior oil and gas dividend stocks

Canadian Dividend Paying Bakken Oil Stocks

williston basin map

The Bakken formation stretches over 25,000 square miles beneath North Dakota, Montana, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. According to Continental Resources, the Bakken/Upper Three Forks formations hold an estimated 577 billion barrels of original oil in place. That means a 3.5% recovery factor translates into 20 billion barrels of recoverable light oil. Thanks to Bakken shale oil, North Dakota is on track to become the second highest producing oil state in the US after Texas.

We are looking for Canadian dividend paying oil and gas companies that derive a substantial percentage of their production from the Bakken formation. These companies are preferably … Continue Reading

Oilfield Services Companies with Fluid Handling Solutions

EcoPond strad

Hydraulic fracturing, also known as fraccing, has revolutionized the oil and gas industry. The process consists of freeing oil and gas from shale rock deposits by injecting water combined with additives under high pressure into the ground.  A horizontal well is basically drilled into a geological formation and completed by multi-stage fracturing (fracking) in order to crack open the shale rocks.

This revolution gave birth to a multi-billion dollar market segment in oilfield services for fluid handling and treatment.

Fracking a well involves anywhere from 2 to 6 million gallons water. Prior to completing a well you need to transport … Continue Reading

remote accomodation

Canada’s oil sands are regularly attacked by environmentalists, politicians and movie stars. But whether you like it or not, the 170 billion barrels of oil sands reserves can only be ignored at your own portfolio’s peril.

There’s a lot of money to be made from the oil sands. That’s because there’s a lot of money invested in the sector – $20 billion in 2012 according to CAPP forecasts, up from $19 billion in 2011.

Oil sands companies make a pretty healthy return with oil prices above $60 per barrel WTI. Forecasts are calling for WTI prices to average in the … Continue Reading

May 26, 2012 via CanadianOil Tagged With: canadian oil companies, lower amaranth formation, lower amaranth oil

Lower Amaranth oil players

The Triassic Lower Amaranth formation (known as the Spearfish in North Dakota) is an unconventional light oil resource play with more than 2 billion barrels of original oil in place (OOIP). Just like the Viking in Saskatchewan or the Cardium in Alberta, the formation has been drilled through vertically numerous times since oil was first discovered in the 1950’s.  The play is situated in the north eastern portion of the Williston basin where a fairway of oil charged formation sands runs from Southwestern Manitoba (Waskada and Pierson fields) into North-central North Dakota (Bouttineau county).

The Lower Amaranth is … Continue Reading
